Crafty Stamp Co. July 2026 Crafty Crew Kit | Wings & Wishes Card Tutorial

It's time to Pre-order the July 2026 Crafty Crew Kit (Pre-order your kit before June 15, 2026! Kits ship out July 5, 2026) from Crafty Stamp Co.! This kit just speaks to me as it's all about butterflies and a gorgeous fairy! For those that don't know, years & years ago (I ended the challenge in 2013), I ran a challenge called Flutterby Wednesdays and it was all about butterflies and fairies! 

Even though I don't have the challenge anymore, I am still drawn to butterflies and fairies so when I saw this new July 2026 Crafty Crew Kit I may have squealed in delight!


If you are new to the Crafty Crew Kits you can check out all the information HERE! It really is a great kit at a great price!! For this kit there is also wonderful Flutterby Trio Die that subscribers can order separately and receive an automatic discount of 10% off!  

My first step was to pick the papers I wanted to use from the Rainbow Butterflies & Alcohol Ink 6x6 Paper Pad. What gorgeous paper this is!!! I also decided to play along with the June Sketch Challenge. I received the postcard about it in a recent order but you can always find the current sketch and information in the Friends Who Like Crafty Stamp Co. Facebook Group.


Sketches are a great starting point and a great way to get some inspiration for your card but you can always adjust them as needed!

I thought embossing the Daisies Stencil onto some white paper would be fun but in the end it's covered by the squares of the sketch. Sometimes our ideas don't always work out but at least we tried, right?



I colored up the beautiful fairy and butterflies from the Wings & Wishes Stamp Set with Copic markers and then fussy cut them out.


Copics Used:
Skin/Blush/Tongue: E13, E11, R20, R17
Hair: YR24, YR23, YR21
Eyes: B06, B04
Bow/Dress/Shoes: BG78, BG75, BG72
Wings: V04, V01, V000
All Flowers (inside card and on main focal point): YG17, YG13, YR07, Y19, Y15
Butterflies: BG75, BG72, V04, V01, V000

After my images were colored I added a few highlights with a white gel pen. I almost always decorate the insides of my cards. For today's card I stamped the sentiment and added some strips of paper cut at an angle and the flowers from the stamp set.


The final step was to put the card together. I was inspired by Cristena, the owner of Crafty Stamp Co., to use foam tape between one of the layers and on the butterflies. Didn't it turn out so beautiful? I can't wait to play more with this kit!!


Have a beautiful day!! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!!

Sweet November Stamps Fae-bruary Week 4

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the final week the theme is Moon & Stars.

I'm not going to lie, this one threw me and I had decided that I wasn't going to do it but then I decided to give it a try, LOL! I'm not the most pleased with my background but I tried. LOL! I have a new paintbrush coming for splattering so maybe that will help in the future.

I pictured the sweet Fairwee Twirl fairies having a fun spring party dancing in the purple moon! 




Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Enchanted Spring Flowers

I am trying to work on using stencils more and also ink blending. One of the things I wanted to figure out was how to emboss a stencil in my Big Shot and voila' I did it! I ink blended over it and love how pretty it turned out! 


Once I had the embossed/inked panel I needed to add an image. I looked at my notes and realized I can enter one more time in the Sweet November Stamps FB group monthly challenge so I went that route.

I don't think I've ever used the Enchanted Spring Flowers stamp set or if I have, not much so I thought it would be fun to color up some of the flowers and fairies/butterflies. I left off a sentiment since I don't know exactly who I'm sending it to.




I think it just turned out so pretty! Yay! I'm looking forward to playing more with stencils and ink blending!!

Have a magical day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Sweet November Stamps Fae-bruary Challenge Week 2

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the second week the theme is Pink and Green.

I looked through my stash and decided to use the Valentine Sweetwees since it is Valentine's Day! They are so cute!

I used the Frames & Tags die from Newton's Nook for the layout with some Doodlebug papers. I wanted the little Sweetwee who is colored with copics to stand out a bit from the background (plus it's a different pink for her balloon/lollipop) so I embossed an oval with a favorite embossing folder, Swiss Dots.

I finished off the card with a few bits from This Calls For Confetti and added some white gel pen highlights.

Slow Ride

The Sweet November Stamps Facebook challenge for February is Anything Goes but you get double entries if you use a fairy. You can enter 3 times so this is my second entry!

I found the Slow Ride digital stamp in my collection and thought it was such a sweet image so I printed and colored it up. I had the papers fresh on my mind from the Cecily Fairy Card so I pulled them out for this card too but used a greenery pattern for the little bit of designer series paper that would show.

Sweet November Fae-bruary Challenge- Week 1

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the first week the theme is Fairies and Toadstools.

I looked through my Sweet November Stamps both digital and clear and found a digital stamp from a previous Fae-bruary called Cecily. She was perfect for this week's challenge!

I printed her a bit bigger than I planned so the card will have to go in a slightly larger envelope than an A2 size but that's okay! Many cards that are bigger I put into a padded envelope--just to be sure there's no postal issues.

I found some fun papers in my stash, SU Toadstool Gardens 6x6 Designer Series Paper. Even though not much of the paper is showing, it still makes me happy to have it there plus it helped me with what colors I wanted to use. I was a little biased to the paper though as it's my favorite color combo, pink & orange!


I felt the card needed a little something so I grabbed out my favorite Martha Stewart Butterfly punch and added some butterflies. To finish the card I added some details with a white gel pen and some stickles to the fairy's wings



I added some butterflies to the inside of the card too. Unfortunately the glue wasn't dry when I closed the card so when I opened it a little bit stuck the butterflies. I fixed the mistake by adding some antennae with a copic. I'm glad it worked!!

Have a fairy good day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Enjoy The Little Things | Sweet November Stamps Fairy Tot March


Sweet November Stamps has a fun challenge for February! Each week you can enter a fairy creation in their Facebook group and on IG with a weekly hashtag. At the end of the month you can receive an exclusive digi so I thought I'd try and play along.

For my card for the second week of the challenge I found the Fairy Tot March digi already printed out so I decided to color her up. She's so sweet and I just had to give her some freckles!

The sentiment is from a retired Kraftin' Kimmie stamp set, Fancy Florals. It was perfect as I just didn't like all the "good luck" or luck sentiments I had.

Thanks for stopping by and go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Scrappy Boy Stamps Briar Rose Collection

I'm so excited to share my creations using the newly released Briar Rose Collection from Scrappy Boy Stamps!! So many fun crafty goodies!!


For my first card I made little windows using the flower die from the Fairy House Door Mini Album Die for the fun paper to show through. I added some stickles to add some sparkle and then added the fairies (even though I colored them wrong but we're rolling with it). 



Next I made a memory dex card. If you haven't been following me, I create a memory dex card for each Once Upon A Time release. The Tall Memory Dex card is so fun!



I created a fun shaker card next using some of the new Confetti Shaker Plates! These new plates are fabulous and have so many possibilities!!



For my next card I used some of the fun papers and the princess with the spinning wheel.



For my final card I used the stamp with the princess and prince! And made another shaker card!!
